Still no sign of Tortie. No one has seen her. Not the neighbors or anyone who lives near by. Catcrazy, you have some good ideas about going out at night. I'll take my hubby with me and see if this helps. Thanks for caring! Tortie, please come home!!!:sad: :sad: :sad:

I struggle too as my hubby makes it difficult for me. He brings home junk that I find it hard to resist, but I must try harder to resist. I had two binge days as a result of his junk. I really want to lose weight and keep it off. I was doing well until this point. Now, I am back at square one.

Tina 0 Binge 2

A few people have told me I look younger than my age. Yesterday, an acquaintance told me she could see I was losing weight. That made me very happy.

Day 30: ONE MONTH IN! WAY TO GO! Think you can make it 20 more days? List 3 reasons you want to keep going. 1) I don't want binging to have control over me. 2) I want a normal relationship with food 3) I don't want to have to feel guilty or self hatred after a binge.

I've done BFBM a few times and usually made it through circuit 3. I liked it, but yes it is a killer. I am doing RI30 right now and will be starting on week 2 tomorrow.

I liked week 1 and ready to move on to week 2. Enjoy RI30!

Making it this far.

Two of my favorite books: Envy and Betrayal, both by Gregg Olsen

I really don't have any favorites that I look up to today. Many actresses and singers are immoral. It is better to look up to God. I hope I haven't offended anyone.

Day 44: Do you see yourself as a happy person? Do you think others see you as a happy person? I have happy moments, but in general, no.

Day 31: Who in your life makes you really happy? My hubby and my kitty:smile:

Day 42: A picture of what your pantry/dorm room looks like after 42 days of no binging! Are there foods you’ve been able to keep around that you couldn’t before? Nope. When it comes to chocolate, sweets, breads, and chips, I cannot have them around or I binge on them. I find it's better to get 8 oz of something than a…

My husband sort of knows. I usually don't binge in front of him, but when he knows I eat the wrong stuff, he says to me " you're not going to lose weight eating all that stuff" or you're eating all the wrong foods" things like that. It does not help.

Day 43: List five things that you love about yourself. 1) Thoughtful and compassionate of others 2) My brown eyes 3) Trying my best to stick to this new lifestyle change 4) Lover of animals 5) Hard working

Trying my hand at online internet business because I am afraid it won't work out.

Day 33: Detailed account of a binge you remember having. Try analyzing your feelings before and after it happened. I ate a bunch of chips, dinner with dessert, then, binged on bread and butter and cookies. I really wasn't thinking before the binge, except that I wanted the food because I was anxious, but then developed…

Day 32: Do you strength train/lift weights at all? (YOU SHOULD!) I use weights in the Jillian Michaels dvd's. I am currently doing RI30 which uses weights.

Day 34: A picture of some item of clothing you want to buy for yourself As I am losing weight, I would like to buy sun dresses for spring/summer. My hubby says he wants to see me in more dresses.

Day 38: What calms you down when you’re stressed out? Usually several things: A back rub from my hubby. My cat sitting in my lap and me petting her. A bath and soothing music. Going to the beach and enjoying the the beauty and sound of the ocean. Sitting in my easy chair and meditating and yoga to name a few.

I got really sick as I was beginning level 2 of 6w6p so I had to take it easy for a while. I had gotten out of the habit of exercise for over a month, but plan to go back to 6w6p soon. I am currently doing RI30 week 1 and really like that for now. Yes, the side planks are the worst in 6w6p! After 3 weeks on level 1, I…

Day 35: When did your binging start? Why do you think it started? I had been binging for so long that I can't really remember when it began. I think it began when I was put on serequel which hunger is a side effect. I was taken off the drug, but the binging continued as I watched my weight climb to 200 lbs before joining…

Day 36: A picture of a time in your life that you didn’t feel good about your body. List two things that you like about this picture now. A photo my mom took of me when I was really, really fat that accentuated all the negatives like showing all the rolls. I made a face, too. The only thing I like is that I have lost…

Day 37: Do you think it’s possible to be 100% happy with your body? Why or why not? That's something that I continually have to work on. It may be possible, but for me, I'm not so sure. When I am at my desired weight, I will like what I see in the mirror. In the meantime, I am working on not binging. I had some days where…

I got really sick as I was beginning level 2 of 6w6p and never completed it. Anyway, I am now doing RI30 week 1 and it is pretty tame and will return to 6w6p at a later time.

Like you, I've been feeling under the weather. I've had a cold and sore throat for several weeks so I have been taking it easy. I made myself a green smoothie. it was delicious! Something I will do for myself later is yoga to relax myself and clear my mind. Katemarus, congrats on declining those tortilla chips!

Day 19: What is your favorite way to work out? I like the Jillian dvd's and Leslie Sansone's walk off the pounds dvd's.

I am sweaty after one of my JM workouts. They are intense.

Yesterday not so much, but today is better. This morning, I made a green smoothie for breakfast. It consisted of spinach, kale, pure protein whey powder and a tangerine. I also ate a fugi apple. Day not done yet.

Healthy food is becoming an acquired taste. My faves are my morning green and fruit smoothies, salads, yogurt, cottage cheese and snacking on baby carrots.
